Thanks for the kind words people. Best ease off now before my head gets too big to leave the house

Midnight August the 8th and thanks to a tip from friend Will I caught Adelaide H's 380 & 370 checking clearances in Victoria Square. 380 was partially into the stop on the up track when it was brought to a stop by shouts from a number of staff who were monitoring the movement. The photo shows th...

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Camera is a Canon S3 IS, non SLR, time exposure on tripod.
Being a non-SLR the shot is a lot noisier than I'd like but my budget can stretch there for a while.

Here's Flexity 101 on the first scheduled run into the new Victoria Sq stop. Following an uneventful trip we arrived just before 6am on Monday the 6th of August. There was a decent fog and no lighting on the platform although some generator lights arrived shortly afterwards. http://i154.photobucket....

Saturday, August the 4th and the old terminus is no more http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/vic_sq_0505_small.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/vic_sq_0519_small.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/vic_sq_0524_small.jpg South Tce works conti...

There's been much said here about the state of our rail infrastructure. As 2105 led 2011 & 2106 into Oaklands Pk station this morning a derailment occurred. According to the media, no passengers were injured. Here are a few shots taken about 3 hours after the event. Small shuttle busses were wor...

Friday night the second overhead went up (no photo's sorry)

Here's shot taken just outside the GPO.



Work continues at South Tce

Nice shots Sam! I went into town after work tonight following a call from friend Trevor who told me that half of the overhead is up. It was already too dark for photos but there it was from City West around into Victoria Square. The Eastern side wire is up but not correctly attached to the horizonta...

This photo was taken on the Wendnesday following last weekend's efforts and the big jack-hammer is dealing with the remaining foundations. I drove past on Saturday and couldn't see anything left. I guess that the material in the foreground is reinforcing rod. Bill http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/...

Here's Flexity 104 passing the new South Tce siding works and a shot of some nice new overhead which has been installed before the track. Bill http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/South_tce_0279_small.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/South_tce_0286_small.jpg

According to locals, work began on the demolition of the remaining Bakewell bridge pier at 9:30am Sunday. There has been much speculation over the last few months as to what process would be used. In the end, a machine with what can best be described as a mega pair of snips is simply cutting it up! ...

Southbound traffic has been prevented from travelling over the new bridge from 3am this morning (Sat 14th). I called in three times today, twice during the day and finally at 11pm. Each time there was nothing happening but the traffic was still being diverted. Earlier in the day I was told that the ...

Here's the crane preparing to move the tree in question http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/Vic_Sq_May_5_1098_small.jpg Pile of rails in Vic Sq http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/billd_photo/Vic_Sq_May_6_1101_small.jpg Barriers up in King William St. Sunday afternoon http://i154...

Flexity 110 was safely on track at 2:15am.

111 is due in April and 112 in May.

Flexity 110 is to be offloaded in Victoria Square tonight (early hours of Friday morning 23/3/07).
